I am getting my contract signed tomorrow. Kinda scary, but kinda soothing. Becuz i've been in lingo for a while now, not having my visa situated, or contract, and i haven't really taught a class yet, but i'm sure it'll be alright.
I think i'll email JC, cuz i wanna see how he's doing.
I saw an old man, of greying years today,
he was selling rice, in bags that looked too big for him to carry.
He covered his face with his hands, either in shame, or in sleep.
the years were spent on him, he was wearing thin clothes, and brown covered shoes.
I held back tears as i walked by today, the one who had a rough life.
How is it God that one can have a good life, a medium life and a sorrow-filled and hard life?
Are you the one who measures out people's lives? Do you tell them that they'd be here or there,
rich or poor, alone or together?
I guess Lord, I could say with gratitude, thank you.
For making me where I am, for supplying food for me, for protecting me.
Not that you don't for the others-- becuz I know you do, but maybe they don't realize it.
Maybe they don't see you. Maybe their eyes are covered over.
Lord, uncover their eyes.
Maybe their ears are blocked.
Lord unclogg their ears.

Isaiah 42:7 "To open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the dungeon and those who dwell in darkness from the prison.
:13 "The Lord will go forth like a warrior, He will arouse His zeal like a man of war. He will utter a shout, yes He will rasie a war cry. He will prevail against His enemies.
:16 "I will lead the blind by a way they do not know, in paths they do not know I will guide them. I will make darkness into light before them and rugged places into plains. These are the things I will do and I will not leave them undone."

Yes Lord. I will hold onto You and Your word. Let it burn in me like it did in David, how he burned for zeal with your word in his bosom.
Thank you for allowing me to talk to dad and autumn on their birthdays. I didn't even pray for that,but you knew i wanted to talk to them.
Song of Solomon: 2:4- "He has brought me to his banquet hall, and his banner over me is love."

I forget that your will for me Jesus is always Love, no matter what kind of circumstance I'm in, it's always to draw close to you somehow...forgive me for not seeing that all the time. Forgive me for lifting my circumstance above you, as if it's bigger than you. I love you more than where I'm at, or what I'm doing. I love you enough to say I haven't been fully yours, and I want to be fully yours, not separated anymore, i don't want my eyes to gaze elsewhere, I want to keep my eyes on you, the lover of my soul, cuz you know the deepest parts of me...and you know the plans you have for me...
I love you,
says the adoring eyes of the sweet spring song.
